Man's Imitation Of Life And Desire

About the Book

This book is (Part One) a collection of Poems about real life experiences. About love, romance, hurt, pain, brain injury, abuse, loss of a parent, God, and the truth about life itself. These poems will make you think, smile, cry, and take a second look at life and the people around you. I can only hope that what I have written will allow people of all ages and genders to relate to them someway or somehow. Ihope you enjoy them as much as I did writing them. Please watch out for (Part Two) coming soon, right after this one. I am including a poem here that I hope will make you think deep about what goes on behind closed doors that no one knows about but the one who is hurt: It is called, (Without A Sound) Enjoy...... Without a Sound Many times have I seen the faces of pain and tears, so true, The faces of women bruised with their eyes black and blue, The tears of pain clutch their hearts so bad, they want to flee, Before it gets to the point where they are just a memory. All of them seek a way out at one time or another, But once it comes to light he soon will discover, That she longs to get away from him and break the chains, For the beatings continue and again your left in the pouring rain. This time being worse than the last, but you seem to stay, Looking in the mirror at yourself, not liking it this way, Your eyes are black and blue and your lips are cut deep, All that is left now is the pain and you being left to weep. I kept telling you to get away, for it will get worse each day, Knowing that I do not approve or like seeing you this way, Your tears are falling, as your screams get louder, more than before, This time my dear you had no idea, what was in store. How I knew it would go too far one day, how you were laid to rest, Remembering you vividly lying there, how beautiful you were dressed, That one cold day in December as they lowered you in the ground, Now being in a better place, you have left without a sound.

About the Author

David J. Poplstein As promised, this is Part Two of my collection of poems adding to my first book: Man’s Imitation of Life and Desire (Part One). I was born and raised in Cleveland Ohio. I started writing in the early 1980's during high school. I always had a gift for writing to touch someone’s heart in one way or another. Whether it is my life or your life, or even if it relates to someone you know and who you are close to. Most of my poems are written about true-life experiences (hence: The 2nd Ultimate Book of True Poetry) some are about my life, and some are about people I have met and the ones I know and love. I enjoy writing and some of my work has been used in music with: Singer, Songwriter, and Composer, My Uncle, (Benny Carr) from Cleveland/Parma Heights Ohio, along with being used in other venues. This collection of poems is also dedicated to some very special women throughout my life who have been my inspiration for me to write many. They know who they are and I thank them all for being in my life and loving me back then. I also thank God for this gift of writing and some of my inspirations for my book, as I am an Ordained Minister since 2003. I thank my family for being there for me and encouraging me to go for it! I hope you enjoy these poems as much as I did writing them. Best Wishes, David J.
